And what is all this about Americans not having any accents? Sillies, we have American accents! Just ask a Brit! I've heard from English-learning studies that American English is the hardest to imitate.
Really? We're being exceptionally lazy in our pronunciation... perhaps the British need to relax a bit more when they try to imitate...
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."
